AOC 2021 – CANCELLATION

Martin Branc

Dear athletes,

unfortunately the Austrian Open Championships 2021 have to be cancelled. As the current situation and the increasing number of infections show us, further restrictions are to be expected in the coming weeks and months. All these unforeseen circumstances make the calculation and the probability of reducing the financial risk to a viable minimum almost impossible. The effects of COVID-related restrictions on the number of participants, audience numbers and the associated higher costs due to additional security requirements have forced the organizers with a heavy heart to make a decision at this point in time. From now on, cancellation costs would have come into play that cannot be covered by the organizing associations and private persons.

We hope for a better future and wish everyone to stay healthy!

CENCELLED DUE TO COVID19-PANDEMIE

Martin Branc

Austrian Open Championships, November 20th – 22nd, 2020, CANCELLED!

The Austrian Open Championships, traditional annual event in Multiversum, Schwechat, unfortunately has to be cancelled due to the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020.

The Austrian government has meanwhile permitted the organization of events. To ensure the health and safety of both active participants and spectators, there is a comprehensive catalog of measures for organizers. At an event of the size of the Austrian Open, we see no way to do justice to these measures.

For the organizers it was a difficult decision. However, we are fully aware of the responsibility to ensure the safety and health of everyone involved. Therefore, the step to cancel was unfortunately necessary.

However, we are now using the time to plan the event in 2021, to take the catalog of measures into account and to be well prepared.

We are therefore looking forward to seeing you again from November 19th-21st, 2021 at the Austrian Open 2021 in Vienna-Schwechat.
